I was given this unit; it works but I know nothing else about it. I am a novice and only beginning to learn. I noticed tingle voltage when changing the rod. Not every time and not extreme but definitely noticeable. Conditions were outside, dry, leather gloves, rubber-soled shoes, not touching the parts/metal being welded. Overall it appears to be in good physical condition, insulation on leads is good, etc. Is there something wrong that I'm missing?
It does have only a 3-conductor cord. Should I change it to a 4-lead so it has the ground wire? I would not expect this to solve the problem. My limited understanding is that this would ground the case itself but I don't get any shock when touching the case, only sometimes when changing the rod, which indicates I'm completing the circuit/path to ground from the lead itself. My assumption is that possibly the glove was slightly damp; not noticeably wet/soaked but it was warm that day. However I don't want to "assume" that it is otherwise safe to use. Please correct/inform me if I'm wrong.
